The shock decision from manager came in the wake of their 1-1 draw with AS Roma.
The 24-year-old was told: “Ismail Kartal resigned. He said did he make any statement to you?”
A confused Brown asks: “Why do you mean he resigned? As what? As coach? What do you mean by resigned? He's not the coach anymore I didn't know about this.”
